Led by partner Anna Lau, Ravenscroft & Schmierer's dispute resolution and mediation practice offers a comprehensive range of dispute resolution services. These services encompass litigation, arbitration, mediation and out-of-court settlements. The firm is actively involved in various industry sectors, including finance, technology, manufacturing, supply chain, real estate and construction. In these sectors, the firm represents clients in a wide array of disputes, including white-collar crime, fraud, money laundering, technology, financial matters, ownership disputes, debt recovery, shareholder disputes and regulatory proceedings.
Anna Lau's expertise in finance, particularly in fintech and cryptocurrency, has positioned the firm as a notable player in this practice area within Hong Kong. The recent addition of Louie Lee, a respected regulatory lawyer and former associate director of the Securities and Futures Commission, as a consultant has further bolstered the firm's presence in the virtual assets market.
One case highlight sees the firm representing a Korean businessman and his wholly owned display panel company in a claim against multiple defendant fraudsters across the Asia-Pacific region for the misappropriation of the client’s funds. The firm has thus far filed a criminal complaint, obtained disclosure orders, injunction orders and two garnishee orders absolute, and served court documents through the proper channels to all defendants residing in Taiwan.
The rest of the clients the firm has advised remain confidential.
